+## Directories
+
+### [aws-image-pipeline](.)
+This is the main directory for the AWS Image Pipeline. It contains the core scripts and configurations required to manage the image pipeline process.
+
+### [ansible/ansible-playbooks](../image-pipeline-ansible-playbooks)
+This directory contains Ansible playbooks used for provisioning and configuring the images. These playbooks automate the setup and configuration of the images to ensure they meet the required specifications.
+
+### [packer/linux-image-pipeline](../linux-image-pipeline)
+This directory contains Packer templates and scripts used to build the Linux images. Packer is used to create machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.
+
+### [modules/terraform-aws-image-pipeline](../terraform-aws-image-pipeline)
+This directory contains Terraform modules used to manage the infrastructure for the image pipeline on AWS. Terraform is used to provision and manage the AWS resources required for the image pipeline.
+
+### [test/goss-testing](../image-pipeline-goss-testing)
+This directory contains Goss tests used to validate the images. Goss is a YAML-based tool for validating server configurations, ensuring that the images meet the required standards before they are deployed.
